Ebay Findings. Laughs, and Questions

Ok, first one is a laugh. They claim Lifters, but show pics of a piston. LOL

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6770

Next one, is for lifters. I have not had my engine down this far, so the ones that have, please inform me if these are stock style, or "performance" style. And will work in either my 3.1l, or my 3.4l

Stock replacements.
Will fit a 3.4?
MOST CERTAINLY.
97% of time with a 3.4, substitute 2.8/3.1 & ya got a winner!
Why not throw old ones in kerosene, to clean, refresh & then add HiPo rocker arms on the 3.1?
Good option, too.

Stock ones arnt roller like that are they?? I am assuming if their for 2.8/3.1, they will fit in 3.4.

Is roller good option in that part for our engines??

I am wanting to do the 1:52 rockers on camaro. First things first is to get all rides running. Just waiting on cashflow

IF stock 3.1 set up, go 1.6 I'd say.
NO PROOF, but cam is aggressive, yet mild.
On 3.4's, I'm gonna go for 1.52 one day.
Times two.....

I already have 1.6 roller tip for my V-8.
Awaiting the finished product.

trying to talk her into the 3.4l swap. Place, time, money, engine hoist is all "issues" again.

Btw, think I found a house to look at. In my price range easy. Needs some work. :lala:

Ked,Your doing the same goof I did in a post a few months back- your thinking rockers, not lifters.

You need a roller cam to use roller lifters.

That first link that you said that they posted a pic of pistons instead of lifters, I think you are mistaken. When I clicked on that to see what you were talking about there was a picture of lifters there.
